anyway thinking abt homophobia in valisthea
which means thinking abt sex-related misogyny in valisthea. bc imo there is way too much sexual violence against women and focus on women as sexual figures w sexual drama in this game for it to not bleed over into how it feels abt two men kissing (not gonna go into a lesbian reading bc it exits my scope)
like. anabella only being a vessel for children, benedikta using sex to control titan/feel loved by barny but also being threatened w rape twice(?) by men, jill awakening shiva when she's almost raped by a man + other rosarian girls are raped, the constant winkwink sexy references w isabella, the offscreen women moaning in the oriflamme brothel, sylvester killing his wife n mistress after they outlived any sexual service to him, barny's mom referenced in an easily interpretable sexual manner, etc etc
simultaneously the narrative does its best to present the veil as a morally neutral institution w benefits to the function of northreach. the discussion between the male sex worker and the male guard was deliberately placed, too, and gives an interesting view into affection and money. theres a couple more men in veil garb that arent presented as out of place.
which is all failed by rest of the worldbuilding imo. only male customers visit the veil. sex is still regarded as a sneaky taboo subject. every country has a male monarch and occupations are firmly divided by gender. the primary hinge of benedikta's relationship w hugo is the fact that hugo feels in charge, which helps culturally ascribe dominance as a masculine trait.
if women are so widely regarded as unequal on sexual terms (and, relatedly, on societal terms), certain expectations must also exist on the male side.
we dont really see much tension in the male characters performing masculinity--other than the huge unnatural vibes sleipnir gives off by mincing around--but we do see barny kneel before ultima in a rly sexually charged scene. his subservience is presented as an unexpected weak facet of his character, where he's desperate and obliging and uncertain. it's a private scene that works off its own uncanniness, so it functions a little bit more as a narrative piece than a societal mirror. but I don't think that removes it from the discussion, and i think its odd character is a stark contrast to the clarity we're given in dion and terence's kiss scene.
a sort of clarity, i guess. dion and terence talk abt power dynamics in class instead of sexual role or gender. there's still the words 'master' and 'servant' pinned on the wall w like 3 different undertones, so its easy to unravel that into different understandings of their relationship to class, duty, and romantic/sexual identity. i dont think its productive to split hairs abt who tops, but i think its reasonable to interpret that they feel secure in w/e service they give to the other. this is in spite of the societal understanding that dominance is inherently masculine and correct, and that subservience is feminine and not as acceptable.
i know enough abt queer history to know that the security & fulfillment i interpret them as having is simultaneously as rare as it is common depending on where you look. no matter what one does in the private sphere, the public view will influence it, and it's determined by the case who will feel negatively or positively abt themselves bc of it.
ultimately i see valisthea in the respect of a society that views queerness as undesirable but not smth ur gonna be burned at the stake for. im also fully operating under my own preference for queer narratives that labor under external & internal homophobic conflicts. it's fully supportable to decide that valisthea lacks homophobia as well, and its not less like wish fulfillment to have it that way or the other.

HEY HEY HEY(⁠ノ⁠≧⁠∇⁠≦⁠)⁠ノ⁠ ⁠ミ⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻
ANOR ANON IS BACK AFTER THE LONGEST HIATUS AND THE MOST TOE CURLING, BACK ARCHING IDEA TO INCLUDE NBC IN TTV CAME TO ME IN ONE OF MY INTERNAL DIALOGUES
So basically, mc SOMEHOW, miraculously, manages to escape the cage AND THAT BTCH RUNS FOR THE HILLS and somehow ends up in nbc
This could go one or both routes:
Rollo is an innocent who took mc in because he pitied them and was also curious about the world they say they hail from without magic n less homicide n stuff
Orr
Rollo is a villain who took mc in because he believes that they could be of use to eradicate the nrc students or sum'
So essentially, the nrc students get invited to go to nbc as per canon plot line and are pleasantly surprised to see their recent escapee inhabiting the school they were just sent to scope out..
I'll let you take it from here(⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠^⁠3⁠^⁠)
-Anor anon<333
(sorry for the hiatus, I haven't touched my crusty musty dusty Tumblr in like what? A month now??🥲)
OMG HII ANOR ANON!!! It's been so long!! I've also been on a few hiatuses, so I get it completely haha!! Welcome back!! <33 The internal dialogue ideas really hit differently!!!
Maybe spoilers for the Glorious Masquerade event below?
I think this could go deeper into the worldbuilding aspect of the ttv universe! If NRC is the only school that is doing this sort of thing (how Crowley makes it so nobody is ever persecuted, who knows?), then the first route would be the best option! Rollo would definitely use this to his advantage in his whole anti-magic thing! With mc there, it could definitely lead to a route of Rollo and mc working to expose Nrc to the world and to save the few good students that are left there. In that route, I could definitely see Rollo taking on a protector/brotherly route (which could possibly help him resolve his guilt over you-know-what).
In this, they could meet the families of those who died and, maybe, work to somehow stop nrc's sphere of influence and avenge those who died during that school year and the previous years. Imagine the families and friends of the deceased students, paired up with those in their communities working to take down the school (which could indluce some major governmental figures and nobility, considering the dorm leaders and students who are doing the killing ARE nobility/rich/influential). Yes, I'm thinking Ruggie's whole neighborhood, Jack's family and friends (his pack, so to speak), the first years' families, mer coming from the sea, smaller fae who've been wronged by their future king... so many people!
Anyways, if it's the other route than that means that the rest of the world is just as messed up as Nrc which is... disappointing for Mc, since their battle would never end and they'd be forced into another dog-eat-dog world. In this route, they still have Rollo as a protector, though! Even though he's not as good as Jack, he's still willing to keep them safe (in exchange for insider info on the students of Nrc). But then again, this opens ore opportunities for the students of NRC to do whtever it takes to get their otherworldly "pet" back (Again, not a happy ending for TTV!Mc).
Once they found the mc, I think they would want them back (aside from Idia for obvious reasons,,,). This could end in an all out war between the schools (as Rollo would want MC for intel on the students of nrc). I can also see him as wanting to keep mc as a pawn to negotiate with the other students (which could either work, or end terribly as the students of nrc could decide to not care about mc).
I like the concept, and really wanna explore the world of ttv in the second part (which im planning on starting very soon, once I get a plot mapped out).
it was nice to hear from you again anor anon <3

squid game; ep. 2
seong gi-hun x reader.
taken from my wattpad (@RickSanchezski)
words: 1790.
---
It was dark, and quiet. But the uncomfortable silence, that made you sick to your stomach simply because of the reason why. The massacre. You couldn't stop thinking about it.
The memories replayed over and over again, almost mockingly.
"Sang-woo, you helped me.. And you did too. You saved my life out there."
"You are alive, that is what matters."
You looked up and saw the guy that had just saved Gi-huns life. You liked him, he was very polite.
The same buzz that happened earlier. The door opened. The same hot pink suits.
Everyone stood up.
It felt way too deja vu, and you could feel yourself spiraling into panic. Gi-hun noticed that but really didn't want to come off as rude, so he simply asked;
"(Y/N)..? Are you okay..?"
Before you could answer, the masked men spoke.
"You have all made it through the first game. Congratulations. You're moving on. I will now announce the results of the first game."
You looked above to a screen, showing the amount of players.
"Out of 456 players, 255 were eliminated, and 201 players successfully completed the first game.
A hysterical woman came through.
"Mister please, listen, i'm so sorry" she cried out. "I swear i will pay what i owe. I'll do it, ill pay it all. Please sir, i have a child. Oh! so young, I still need to register, and I still need to name my child sir. Please sir, let me le-"
You felt bad for her, so desperate. but you couldn't help but admit it was kind of funny, seeing how people's attitude changed, including your own.
"Please, I'm so sorry. Sir im begging you, Let me leave and i swear I'll find a way to pay it all. Let me go home."
This started a chain reaction of people getting on their knees and begging.
"There seems to be a misunderstanding. We are not trying to hurt you or collect your debts.Let me remind you that we're here to give you a chance."
"A chance? We play some kids games. And you shoot us. You want me to choose that?
That's some chance. We may be in debt, sir... but that doesn't justify killing us all."
"This is just a game."
"Killing everyone out there was a... game to you, huh?"
"They were simply eliminated for breaking the rules of the game. If you just follow the rules,you can leave this place safely with the prize money we promised."
"Just keep your damn money. I don't care! Let me just go home. That's all I want."
"Let us leave. Let us go."
"Consent form clause 1. A player is not allowed to stop playing."
"Come on! You think you'll get away with this, huh? The police will come. They'll bust in here any minute now. They'll be here since we all disappeared."
" Yeah. And I bet they have everybody's phones tracked here already.Look at all your hostages. You're doomed if you don't let us go!"
"We're all dead-"
He was interrupted by a gunshot, and everyone screamed.
"Consent form clause 2. A player who refuses to play will be eliminated."
Sang-woo began. "Consent form clause 3. If all the players agreed to stop playing, the games are allowed to end.
...Or am I wrong?"
"You are correct."
"So let's vote on ending this. If the majority wishes to leave this place, then everyone gets to go home, right?"
"All right, as you wish. We will take a vote to decide on the termination of the game. Before we vote, let me announce the prize money for the game as previously promised."
Wads of cash fell into the golden sphere above us. Everyone looked up in awe, once again, blinded by money.
You didn't fall for it. You wanted out of this hellhole as soon as possible, and you would take every opportunity you get to escape.
The only issue was.. Gi-hun. It was a weird connection. Usually people say "How are you?" In a way which they dont actually care how you are, they used it as a conversation starter, but he was different. He asked it, genuinely wondering how you were.
You'd never felt that way. But you could live without him.
"Uh, sir... So then, if we can complete all six games, how much do we get?" It was the same lady begging to get out, the one that started all of the commotion. You were starting to suspect she was just.. out of her mind.
"Since there were 456 players, the total prize money is 45.6 billion won. And with that, we will now begin the voting."
"As you can see, there are two buttons in front of you. If you wish to continue playing, press the green button with an O. If you wish to stop playing, then please press the red button with the X instead. After you finish voting, move to the other side of the white line and wait. Voting will be done in reverse order of the numbers on your chests.
Player 456, please cast your vote."
He stared, before deciding on X.
Smart man.
"Player 455, please cast your vote."
You went up.
Looked up.
Looked at your hands.
Then, pressed X.
After me it was 454.
She went to go for O first, hesitated, went for X then hesitated again. She looked up at the glowing sphere full of money before pressing O.
"Player 218." A square guard commanded.
He exhaled deeply, staring at the two options before him. He looked as if he wasnt thinking anything. Just meaninglessly staring at something.
He ended up pressing down X. You felt disappointed. More disappointed because it was Sang-woo, more than anything else. One of Gi-hun's closest.. friends? His expression was a mix of hurt, anger and confusion. You knew Sang-woo could feel 456 staring.
Someone started to shout.
"Have you all gone crazy? We have to leave. We can't keep putting up with this insanity!-"
"So what if we leave? Tell me, what changes? Just as bad as it is out there than it is here, goddamn it."
"She's right! If we stop now, it only helps the ones who are dead. They'll get 100 million won, and not us. We made it through! They're out! That money is ours."
"Please..! think about what happened out there."
People were getting hysterical now.
"Where am I supposed to go, huh? Out there, I don't stand a chance. Cmon lets finish this thing! I'd rather stay and keep on trying in here than go back to the bullshit out there."
Another player must've had enough, because he grabbed 322 by the collar.
"You jerk! You got some kind of death wish? Go die alone! Don't drag everybody else into this, you little shit!"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Who are you to-"
Both gasped when a square guard shoved a gun into 119's back.
"We will not condone any kind of act that impedes this democratic process. Now, let us resume and continue voting."
Eventually everyone had casted their vote except for the old man, 001. The one who had been playing red light green light as if he hadn't just witnessed at least 200 die. He treated it as if he was actually reliving his childhood.
It was 50 votes for O, 50 votes for X. He had the deciding vote.
"It seems we're down to the last vote. Player 001."
He walked to go and decide on everyone in the room's fate. As if there was nothing.. pressuring about it.
He rested his hand in the middle.
"If you wish to continue playing, press O. However, if you wish to stop playing, then press X."
You closed your eyes, mind blank. You "woke up" 10 seconds later, looking at your feet, praying to god he pressed X. Some people were cheering, some simply did/ said nothing. Thinking "So.. whats next?"
You look up. O-100. X-101.
You mentally thanked the old man for possibly saving your life.
"the majority of the players have voted to terminate the game. Therefore, this game is now terminated"
"Hey! Okay, anybody who wants, they can go. But let the ones who want, stay till the end, though."
"He's right! Please let us stay! We'll keep playing the game! Half of us have died already! We can't just stop here."
"Yes! Let us continue!"
"It truly is a pity that we must say goodbye to you like this. However, we will not completely seal the door of opportunity or all of you. If the majority of you wish to participate again, then we will resume the game. So, goodbye for now."
As promised, they gave you back your stuff. The only issue was, your last memory was after the guard finished speaking, you and Gi-hun looked at each other, realizing this could be the last time you saw each other.
"Bye.. for now"
And that was it.
You thought his goodbye was genuine until you were (rulely) awoken by getting thrown out of that same sketchy white van.
You couldnt see anything, they had put a blindfold on you.
You then heard that same voice that you thought you would never hear again.
"Help! Help! Help! Hello?! Help over here! I cant see anything!" He sounded frantic, it was hilarious. You can to bite your tongue to stop yourself from laughing.
"..Gi-hun?"
"Ohh, (Y/N).."
You were lying pretty close to him, even with your hands tied you managed to get his blindfold off.
"Thanks for that.. I'll untie you hold on."
He got your restraints off, so you took off your blindfold as well. You then got rid of the wires around your ankles.
You left to get your clothes.
"What are you... oh okay. Get dressed first. It's cold." He shivers. "I'm freezing too. Oh, yeah. Hurry up now. Ooh that hurts..-"
"Chill out Gi-hun, jesus i haven't even..."
You turned to face him. What was he hiding underneath that tracksuit? Damn.
"... got my shirt on yet."
Your voice went from annoyed to quiet.
A pocket knife fell out of your hoodie, so you used it to untie him.
"Thank you, (Y/N)"
You were on your way to your friends house to crash for just a night, and remembered you still had around 90,000 won from a couple days ago. Meaning you could pay for staying at hers, for at least a week. When you were about to ring the doorbell, you saw a certain card wedged into the crack of the door.
On the back it stated the day, time and whereabouts
You realized you couldn't keep living like this, and the people in there were right.

Hiii I love your writings and this is legit my first time submitting one of these hA- but like can u please write a blurb where the reader is on a zoom call, for one of her class and tom decided to tease her while she was answering a question, and then she had to log off early bcs she’s done w all the teasing LMAO
Tumblr media
A/N: thanks for your support, nonnie! and this is a great request right here! 👏🏻✨ I almost turned it as a sinful smut but restrained myself just enough somehow, oopsie 😂🙊 (also I put a tiny bit of my italian literature’s knowledge in there bc I definitely studied that in college 😗) anyway enjoy it and stay safe 💖
‘Stay safe, Cheer up’ blurb event
SEXUAL TEASING BELOW, SO BEWARE!
“Alright class, we’re done with this chapter.”
Everyone loudly sigh, you included. As you put your pen down on your notebook, you take a sip of well deserved water after almost two hours of lessons. Online lessons, specifically. All your teachers decided to organise their classes on Zoom because of the lockdown of your city to keep the students active and up to date with their schedules.
But damn, this literature class is actually killing you. Taking notes non-stop while keeping one hundred percent of your attention on your teacher’s annoying voice is way more difficult than you thought, this quarantine thing going on not really helping your motivation to study.
“Now, I’m going to ask you one question each to see if there are any point to explain again” your teacher finally says.
You all begin to arrange your notes, mentally reviewing the important informations your brain desperately tried to keep. At the same time, you hear the door of you and Tom’s bedroom open, and soon your boyfriend silently appears into view in front of you, your webcam fortunately facing the opposite way.
His eyes asks you how you’re doing, to which you answer him with a nod and a slight smile. So Tom goes back to do whatever he has to do, your focus back on your literature teacher starting the quiz.
As the questions keep going, your teacher correcting or clarifying some of them, you take a quick glance at Tom who still goes in and out the bedroom but then notice him coming back shirtless at some point. Your eyes open wide but still tries to stay attentive to your lesson, and not on your boyfriend’s muscled upper body, as you will be soon the next one for the quiz question.
And Tom perfectly knows what he is doing. He always liked teasing you for nothing, almost playing dumb to see your reaction. So today, he wanted to take advantage of you being busy with college lessons by showing off the nice build up he gained for his next movie. And boy, does that cheeky brat loves to brag about his body.
Your eyes constantly travel between your screen and your boyfriend, making sure to be as discreet as possible, but your patience will be soon caught by your needs.
“Now, (Y/N). Question.”
The voice of your teacher startles you a bit, bringing you back on earth and paying full attention to them. You carefully listen to the question and give yourself a few seconds to think about it. Ready to answer, you also notice Tom has somehow disappeared from the bedroom, maybe to go back and mind his own business you hope.
Oh how you are wrong…
“In the three first “canto” of Paradiso, Dante visits the first sphere of Heaven which is the Moon, related with the nine levels of the angelic hierarchy as the other eight spheres. So here, Beatrice explains to Dante the rea-”
Suddenly you feel something sliding up your naked leg, soon caressing your thigh and under your shorts in slow circles. Rapidly your eyes lower there and you do your best to hide the redness of your cheeks as you lock eyes with Tom, still shirtless, kneeling down under the desk and between your legs, his signature smirk you know too well. Not to alert any of the other students nor your teacher, you stutter a bit but quickly focus back on your answer, ignoring Tom as much as possible.
But Tom is not ready to stop yet, oh no, he just started. At some point you manage to block a moan, Tom’s fingers teasing the hell out of you by brushing the tips of his fingers around your covered center.
This keeps going on for five minutes until you somehow reply perfectly to the question, but these definitely feel like the five longest minutes of your life. Cheeks fully red and body stiffed as a rock, you soon pretend to leave the live class first because of some “urgency” happening. Your teacher then dismisses the lesson anyway, reminding the class to be on time next week.
You quickly press the “end call” button, exhaling loudly with a moan as you move your chair away from your desk, obliging Tom to go out of his not-so hidden spot.
“Y-You tease! Why would you do that during my online class?!”
Your boyfriend lazily stands, his still shirtless torso now right in front of you, your eyes staring at every inch of it. Tom then picks you up, a high-pitch squeal leaving your mouth while surrounding his waist with your legs.
“I must say, seeing you all studious is a turn on. I couldn’t help but tease ya, baby” Tom whispers warmly in your ear.
You will definitely review your lesson tomorrow…

ok so i lost my of the moment reaction i typed up on the testimonials about j*** wh***n and his abuse of so many people, especially young actresses, and on his sets, and by other ppl on those sets, and how disturbing all those testimonials were, depicting just such a horrible toxic abusive environment that continued to repeat and persist for decades. and im not gonna try to recap my initial horror because im exhausted now and it doesnt need to be said- it was horrible, it should never have happened and it should never happen again.
but i did have some thoughts on btvs that i hadnt articulated before and i’ll try to rewrite here.
btvs was a very formative show for me- i was in my late teens and trying to understand myself and the world and how to live in it, and btvs gave me strength and comfort and insight and hope in many ways. however, it also paired all of that with some characters’ abusive actions going completely unchecked, fetishization that i was too young to realize was happening, and actual manipulation of the audience (killing characters in sudden and traumatic ways for example). and all of it together created a powerful drug- I would watch an episode and feel miserable and moved to extreme degrees. all that intensity of emotion, even if some of it felt bad, that’s just what real life (aka grown up life) really feels like, right? NO that is NOT what life should feel like! i should never had have had to put up with feeling miserable and horrified at characters i loved being tortured on screen, just to get good moments with them. and i should not have had to force myself to be ok with characters that were creepy and manipulative and mean and TOTALLY unchecked, just cause they were “part of the gang”. what im describing here, now that im putting it into words, sounds like the mental gymnastics abusers put into the heads of their victims! and given that j*** w has been revealed as verbally abusive and heinous, this is very telling!!
art is very much a reflection of its creators, and i was young then so i didnt realize that discomfort with parts of the art is directly connected to discomfort with the creators and what they think is acceptable or desirable that i dont feel comfortable with. now i am older and if something feels creepy to me, i try to acknowledge it to myself and retain suspicions of the creator and ppl involved. but i was younger and more naive then and hadnt learned that lesson yet. it was also before #MeToo (though i dont know if things would have been so different even if it was after. popular culture and mass culture are a powerful force on a naive person, and the culture still idolizes ppl and celebs and shows. young ppl especially are looking for role models and ways of being outside their own small spheres and so mass culture means a lot to them in particular- but mass culture is not protecting them or loving them back.)
anyways, i feel sorry for my younger self and everyone else who loved btvs being subjected to the abuse fantasies and "hidden” fetishes and behind-the-scenes power plays on actresses that that show has on screen. and i feel sorry for the people working on the show who were subjected to actual abuse at their job (especially the young women and teenagers who should never have had to be around this toxicity at all, much less been the prime targets of it). fuck btvs and the people who used it to manipulate anyone who encountered it.
even through all of this, i still love buffy the character dearly, for everything she symbolizes and her best moments and how much she meant to me and still does. i suspect that i will always cherish her character, despite the increasingly clear hideousness of the show. but i dont need to watch full episodes of that show ever again. buffy lives in my heart outside of that show, and ill take my memories and the bits and pieces that mean something to me but FUCKKKK Buffy the Vampire Slayer the show. i loved you and you treated me and other ppl like we were less than human and not worthy of actual love and respect

Mother and Daughter
Tumblr media
Pairing: Kelly Severide x Reader
Warning: Language, fluff, Implied family issues
AN: Ok this one I enjoyed... immensely... 
Your mother is in town for a few days, which means your boyfriend is suspiciously absent
*****
Your mum was coming to the city, it was a biannual visit that she made under sufferance simply to say that it wasn’t always her commanding you to come home. She liked to sit on the high ground of moral vindication.
You loved your mum, you actually had a decent relationship now you’d grown up, moved away and didn’t have to live with her anymore. These visits though, even though they only lasted for a few days, tended to be painful for everyone involved. Your mum did not like the city, she didn’t like crowds of people, traffic, noise or the small bedrooms you had in your tiny apartment. She missed her own kitchen, fancy coffee machine, Women’s meetings and town gossip sessions.
You’d taken the morning off work to wait for her to arrive and had already set up the bed for her in the spare room. You’d also removed any trace of your boyfriend from the apartment. Kelly was allergic to parents and in the case of your mother you didn’t really blame him. Your mum was also allergic to men, after the mess your dad had made of their relationship you didn’t really blame her either. So, by silent agreement neither of them met, ever. Not in the context of ‘mother of your girlfriend’ anyhow.
You’d been sat on the window seat so saw the taxi pull up outside your block and your mother emerge, commanding the poor uber driver to remove her bags from the cab. How one woman needed practically a suitcase a day you’d never figured out, especially as her daughter, you, managed to travel for weeks with only a rucksack you’d had since high school.
Starting to assemble the requisite smile on your face you went down to help her with the pile of luggage.
“Mum”
She turned and caught sight of you enveloping you in a huge hug, your mother always smelt vaguely like fresh cookies and vanilla, it flashed you back to sitting in the kitchen of your childhood home nibbling on said cookies while in the living room your mum and dad screamed at each other.
“Y/N, darling” she held you slightly away from her eyes taking you all in. “You look skinny, have you been eating? I brought plenty of casserole and stews, you can put it in the freezer”
“Mum, you always say I look skinny, and how did you get TSA to let you on your flight with a load of frozen food”
“Hmmm” That was your mothers all purpose noise, mainly meaning the subject was closed and she wasn’t going to tell you anything more. Picking up the many bags you helped her carry them up to your apartment, dumping them in the kitchen. “Put that food in the freezer darling”
“hmmm” you copied your mums previous sound but did as you were told. It was more trouble than it was worth to try and disobey her.
Your mum was still stood in the middle of your apartment. “This place seems smaller every time I arrive”
“I promise you its not” how did the woman do it, in one sentence you were desperately trying to remind yourself that murder was not a good idea. “I have to go to the firehouse. I was just waiting for you to arrive” your mum was still staring around the room. “Maybe you want to rest?”
“Rest?” she finally gave you her attention again. “Oh, I'm quite rested. Maybe I’ll come to the station with you, I haven’t been there for quite some time”
Crap. That was what you’d been wanting to avoid. Trying to dissuade her though would only make her more determined to come with you.
“Fine”
“I'm sure the boys would appreciate some warm food”
“mum…” you whined but she was no longer listening, she’d gone to your fridge and was tutting in dismay at the offerings inside.
“We’ll stop by the market on the way”
“Ok” grabbing your bag you hustled her back out of your apartment and down to your car. It was going to be a very long day.
**
The guys as you’d guessed had been delighted to see your mother entering the station with you following behind, arms piled high with groceries. They’d swarmed your mum leading her into the station with smiles and hugs.
“Yeah don’t worry about me!” you snapped trying not to trip over your feet. “I'm fine”
The guys ignored you completely still fawning over your mum. Someone did come up from behind you though and the top two bags were removed from your arms leaving you with only one.
“I see she arrived”
“It’s been 2 hours Kelly, 2 hours and I want to kill either her or myself, I haven’t decided which yet”
“That bad?”
“She called me skinny! Mocked my fridge, apartment and now she’s here… my mother is here, where I work”
“Sounds terrible”
“Just don’t” you warned as he didn’t look all that sympathetic.
“Hey! Y/N get moving with those groceries your mum’s gonna cook”
Your eyes narrowed as you focused on Herrmann who was hanging out of the door to the mess room. You were about to say something scathing and generally unkind when Kelly cut in.
“Coming” he nudged you forwards. “Aren’t we?”
“Yeah sure… we’re coming” you went into the mess dumping the groceries onto the counters where you mum was already rooting around in cupboards bringing out varying pans and equipment.
“Your mum’s going to cook” Otis sounded almost dreamy as he leant beside you on the bench “real food Y/N”
“I heard”
“darling will you peel the veg for me please” you mum didn’t wait for an answer just pushed the peeler into your hands along with a bowl of washed vegetables. “and clean strokes Y/N, don’t attack it like a rabid dog”
“Sure” you got the word out around gritted teeth and snatched a carrot from the bowl. Obviously you were attacking it because soon after your mum grabbed the carrot snatching it from your hands in horror.
“Y/N”
“You said peel it”
“Yes peel, not chunk. Honestly”
Alright, that was it, you were done. Almost hurling the peeler back to the counter, you spun on your heel and stormed out of the mess room.
You’d gone to the locker rooms, sat on the bench in front of the lockers therapeutically letting your feet swing into the metal with a satisfying thump.
“Babe?” Kelly came carefully into the locker room, sitting down beside you his arm going around your shoulders. “what’s going on?”
“I can’t deal with her being here Kelly” you let your boots kick once a lot harder into the lockers. “Mum needs to be at home in that sphere and my life, you, my apartment everything else needs to be separate”
“I think most people feel like that about their parents”
“Helpful, Kelly. Very fucking helpful”
“Hey” he used his spare hand to take hold of your chin forcing your face around to look at him. “She isn’t here for long and in the meantime, she’s your mother.”
“So what, deal?”
“Yeah babe, you deal”
“What good advice Kelly”
You both jumped apart like guilty teenagers at your mums voice coming from the doorway. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she looked between the two of you. You’d never seen Kelly move so fast as he did then, lurching off the bench and going for the door. Your mum didn’t move though blocking his exit.
“Kelly Severide, sit down”
“I um… but…”
“Sit”
“Yes Ma’am” Kelly came back to sit beside you as your mum finally moved from the doorway to stand in front of the two of you.
“Y/N, you may technically be an adult, but you’re still my child. I'm sorry if that upsets you, I am never going to stop being your mother though and this is simply how I am”
“It doesn’t upset me” you felt like an ungrateful ass now. You knew your mum hated the city and yet still she came, still she wanted to see you. “I'm happy you’re here”
“Good, now…” she trailed off staring at the two of you.
“Mum?”
“This needs to stop”
“What?”
“Me pretending I don’t know about you two and you” she turned narrowed eyes on Kelly. “Is my daughter somehow not good enough for you to admit to dating?”
Kelly coughed and squirmed uncomfortably, looking at you for obvious rescue, you just shrugged though. “Don’t look at me, I can’t help”
“No Ma’am of course not”
“Do you love her?” your mum continued; she could be relentless when she was focused onto something. When Kelly remained silent, her hands went to her hips. “Well?”
“Yes alright” Kelly jumped to his feet. “Yes! I love her, I love your daughter”
“Well good” your mum then turned her interrogation to you even though you were fairly in shock from Kelly’s sudden declaration of love. “and you Y/N, why did you think you had to hide this from me?”
“I… um…” Kelly sat back down and took your hand in his own linking your fingers together. It gave you the strength to keep talking. “When dad left, you broke Mum. Ever since then you’ve had this vendetta against men. I didn’t want to hurt you”
Your mum stayed quiet for a minute before reaching out and pulling you to your feet severing your connection to Kelly. She wrapped her arms around you. “You don’t have to protect me sweetheart. I'm your mum. I want you to be happy, it’s all I’ve ever wanted” She kissed your cheek “Now, I have some food to cook” and with a final look at both of you she left the locker room.
Turning around so you could lean against the lockers you caught Kelly’s eye. “Hell of a way to tell me you love me?”
He shrugged standing up and catching hold of your waist, he pulled you off the lockers and into his chest instead. “the truth is the truth”
“I love you too”
Kelly’s lips claimed your own in a kiss that made everything but him flee your mind.
“Now, come on. I want to see what kind of food I can scrounge”
Laughing at that you let him take your hand and pull you out of the locker room again.

Challenge 3 by @mellowtrashdino
I stood on the edge of the roof, looking towards the glowing horizon. The sun is starting its daily routine of coming up early in the luscious morning sky. The bracelet made of rosary beads tingles at my wrist, telling me a Holy Council meeting is being called. I don't dare try to go through the portals while I'm emotionally weak; it's what caused my horrible injuries last time.
The sun rays dance across the frozen ice which used to be the edge of the Pacific ocean. This whole ice age caused by Lucifer is pretty funny, considering he's trying to claim the throne as Satan. He is the absolute dumbest soul I've ever known of, and I've heard about plenty of ignorant spirits.
"Awsten," Tyler says softly, giving off an itty bitty wave of warmth through the freezing air.
I look at him, creating water behind my back, watching his face as he reacts to how fast it turns to snow. If it instantly turns to ice and we're this close to the ground, you know it's cold outside.I feel him wrap warmth around my body as he speaks, "The others want to know if you're going to the meeting,"
Give me a flame and I'll tell you yes or no, I whisper into his mind.
"Why?"
Just do it.
He does as asked as I quickly create the compound for a few gorgeous fireworks. Together, we move our elements about twenty feet away from us, and push them together. My fireworks explode in the word no. Surprisingly, he laughs.
"You're so extra," he chuckles, drawing a vulgar image in the sky with magnificently handled flames. I create water to put it out. He throws his flames out to sea, hoping it will be enough to melt at least a few bits of water. Sadly, it is not.
We agree to go back inside, and as we do, I water as many plants as possible while making a few more pieces of wood for the fireplace inside. Being able to control elements is pretty cool, I guess. I'm grateful for getting my powers back, but it still kind of sucks because everyone has better abilities than me.For example, Mikey can bring upon ghosts just by thinking of it and Brendon can drain the blood of others. Not to mention the angels who just unknowingly strut about this place with their holy abilities! And Satan, God, does she get so annoying with her powers. I hate being belittled by them, even if it's not on purpose [which it mostly isn't].
"Aws!" Geoff yells from across the room, startling just about everyone. Him, Josh, Otto and Gerard are all sitting together at one of the tables in front of the beat up couch playing some card game.
Don't yell at me, or I'll yell in your head! I shouted to him through his brain. I felt his reaction as if he were me. My spiritual ability is so much better than my elemental one.
He runs a hand through his hair, looking down at his hand of cards. He always gets uncomfortable when I'm in his head. I don't think he comprehends that I cannot read minds.
Tyler grabs my shoulder and smiles, "Just thought I'd let you know he's scared and embarrassed,"
The man joins his best friend at the table, leaving me all to myself.
The rooms are mostly empty right now, as many of our people work close to God and Satan, and are up in Heaven having a meeting with the Holy Council. My best friends are playing boring card games that I wouldn't even spectate, let alone join in on. So now I'm bored and lonely, with absolutely nothing to do or work on.
My phone buzzes in my pocket, alerting me of an incoming text message. Who would be calling right now? Everyone is here.
Mikey
meet me at the gym u hoe !
awsten 🤠🤡
whyyMikey
practice lol i need help moving shit
awsten 🤠🤡
why do you need me for that
Mikey
so you can make me metal n stuff. i wanna try different pressures n bolts
awsten 🤠🤡
ohh okay
make sure you don't accidentally kill me though plz
Mikey
listen, if i have enough pressure to kill you RIGHT AWAY, then tbh I'm probably dead too
or at least unconscious
awsten 🤠🤡
THEN DON'T DO THAT
seeya
Mikey
aight
I slowly make my way over to the gymnasium, for I don't want to be the one to open it. One reason is because I'm just nervous, and the second reason is because Mikey can just zap the door to open it [which looks beautiful when he does it].
His smiling face meets me before I'm barely five feet away from the glass doors. He didn't mind walking either, he just did his version of teleportation with his lightning bolts. The man is capable of becoming a bolt and travelling with it, and he does it quite often just to flex on us. Hell, even the people who can teleport normally get jealousbecause he can complete that insane method of transportation in a stunning way. Mikey is just an all around powerful man.
"Mister Way!" I say, sticking an arm out towards him.
"Mister Knight! How wonderful it is to see you again!" He speaks, creating a small storm in his hand, offering it to me. I kindly accept it, quickly making glass and silver to capture it inside a poorly made snow globe. We watch as it takes a new form inside the clear sphere.
Suddenly, there is a loud banging at the front door. My bracelet tells me that the meeting is still in session, and everyone else is still at the base, so who could possibly be on the other side? I don't know, but I could definitely see who. My focus turns into the person banging on the door.
Who are you? I ask them. For the first time, someone enters my mind. He shoves two images inside my head; metal rods being twisted into balls, and the metal front door flying far away from its hinges. He writes stand back in front of my eyes, alertialerting me of what's to happen.
Everyone, stand away from the door.
As soon as everyone listens to my words, the image the man just showed me comes to life before us.
He steps inside, takes a deep breath, and pulls his hand away from his bloody torso.
"His demons are coming,"
whaaaaat this is so intenseeee without content im like :o 100 points!

A P P R E C I A T I O N   W E E K  —  NOV. 2018
     “ F r i e n d s become our chosen f a m i l y. ”
To the mods — thank you. for all you do, for all the hard work and sacrifice you put in so that we can have a safe space to write with our friends. high enough praise can’t be given. thank you a million times over.   @hollywoodlandhq
To Ally — my sister from another mister. we share a brain & it’s awesome. the friendship we’ve formed - although it was formed long ago, we just didn’t realize it *coughmileyxdylancough* lmao - has quickly become something so important to me that i don’t know how i ever functioned without it. the only thing i love more than writing out precious children with you is our chats out of character. whenever i have a bad day or hell, even a whole bad weekend, i know that i can log on and that you’ll make me feel better instantly. i’m so glad i finally watched the fosters & that my need for more noah/maia interaction led me to you.   @hqmaia
To Vic — one of my oldest rp friends. you’ve seen me through thick and thin and i think the only thing more beautiful than our friendship is noah & cierra’s. i’ve gone to you with some of the craziest shit this weird brain of mine has come up with & never once did you laugh me out of the room or write me off. i don’t know if that says more about you or me but whichever it is, i’m beyond grateful for our friendship that just keeps getting better with age.  @cierrahq
To Kingsley — i’m so glad that you worked up the courage to im me first (bc we both know full well that i was never going to be the one to bother you) because charmila is eVeRyThInG. and we shant forget the time that we /really/ bonded over a certain twitter video(s) which instantly sent our friendship up like 5 million levels. i don’t want to talk about it for fear of getting a lil hot n bothered but know that it was /quite/ the friendship former and i am so glad that you & i will forever share that experience. we saw things, man. it changed us. for the better...i think?   @jfcmelton
To Charlie — another one of my age old friends. at the risk of sounding FIVE THOUSAND years old, i literally watched you grow up. i cherish our friendship so so much and it makes my heart so happy to see you out there killing the game, chasing your dreams, and owning it. i can always count on you for an ego boost and a kind word or two.   @emilybettrickrds
To Bonnie — my bonbon. you are truly one of the sweetest humans i’ve never met. i mean, who tf sends a handmade christmas card all the way to hawaii along with the sweetest note i’ve ever read? things like that really make an impact on me & i hope you know how much i value the friendship we’ve built. your influence on me and my writing is something that i will forever be grateful for. and getting the chance to ship with you? priceless.   @hyfdanielle
To Becca — another one of my lifers. despite all the unnecessary and idiotic bullshit that seems to come your way, you have never been anything but kind, understanding, and wonderful in all the years i’ve known you. you put your heart and soul into every one of your muses and it is absolutely inspiring. the dedication you’ve shown is something that i look to as an example and the creativity that you have is something of an aspiration to me. thank you for teaching me how fulfilling hard work in the name of a passion can be.   @liliisms
To Rose — we’re connected!!! irl!!! who knew that would /ever/ be something that could possibly happen. out of aaaall the people in this big, wide world...the fact that we managed to find a mutual connection is nothing short of a miracle & a sign that we were always meant to be friends. even though i’m old enough to be your grandma (it’s fine, it’s cool, i’m fine...). i adore you & your writing & your muses, each and every one of ‘em. keep shining, you star.   @joekcery
To KJ — you are literally the reason i came back to writing. i was nervous in the aftermath of things but a few simple texts from you & any hesitation was out the window. i couldn’t pass up the chance to round out the riv gang and i knew, if you were happy here, i would be happy here as well. our personalities just click and have since day one; it’s a true gift that i’ll always be thankful for. also, our love for ryan guzman’s face will forever bond us (have you /seen/ the new season of 911? HOT. DANG.). love you long time, honey.   @kjapayo
To Emily — thank you for helping me keep track of our threads because anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that i’m a super mega scatter brain who is very bad at juggling multiple things & would lose her head if it wasn’t attached to her body. that said, i absolutely adore our cami/troian friendship to bits. they’re the cutest thing since newborn puppies & i’m very grateful for each and every chance i have to interact with you.   @itstbellisario
To Sadie — i will never have a bigger brotp than nat & gi. they were cute af fam! not only are you an incredible writer who puts incredible amounts of effort into all her muses, you’re a fantastic admin & i’m so grateful to have you (and the rest of the admin team) at the helm of this machine. each chance i have to write against you makes me a better writer so thank you.   @ohlizzo
To the rest of this lovely, little ohana — for those who don’t know, i took a few months off from writing in a group setting on tumblr over the summer. partially due to a bit of drama in the tumblr rp sphere but mostly due to a stressful solo teaching job that took every second of my life to successfully accomplish (6th, 7th, and 8th graders are no joke, y’all). but once the dust settled and i returned to my normal, far less stressful autumnal job, i came back in search of a new place to call home. thankfully, i heard whisperings of a safe space that had been set up by a few names that were familiar to me and i knew i had to throw my name into the ring. so to those i’ve known for a while from past places, i’ve enjoyed every minute back in your ranks. to those newer who found a home here in this place, i’m so glad you did. i’m glad you found us. to everyone, thanks for being here. happy six months, hollywoodland!

DEATH CITY DAYS 123
[[cont from part 122]]
 *somewhere, in a vacant field, is a mud pile...that starts bubbling up*
*a straw pops up through the mud, sucking in air...*
*then a...bear's head pops up*
mimeca: *pokes head out*
ManBearFix: "WEE! We're free!" ^w^ *shifts--then grimaces* "I'm stuck...This sun-baked mud is as hard as rock..."
*it sounds like something clip-clopping up to them...*
mimeca: *yanks him out*
ManBearFix: *gasps* "Ah...My new lungs just ain't what they used to be--" *looks up*

honda: both quite shocking but i was thinking of the events in the nether...
Danro: "..." *sets down his tea* "How did they know where to corner us?"
honda: i cant say for certain, but i suspect there may be a splinter cell within the fire force...
Danro: "That's a surprising accusation. Any evidence?"
honda: sadly, no. perhaps im just rambling...
Danro: "It's definitely a conspiracy theory--literally, a theory about a conspiracy...We already know of the reports about the founding of the Church of the Sun, and there was work some with Haijima have done with enemies against the state."
honda: hmm...and with arg's assassination....
Danro: *nods* "Arg was losing his mind from whatever happened to him in that fire. But even he wasn't talented enough to kill himself like that, or that unlucky to do it by accident. And given how good a fighter he was...whoever killed him wants us to know their power."

Timmy: *turns, death glare*
Mitsy: "?!"

Mitsy: *groans...* "Stupid brat! I'm not done--" *moves her hand to reach into her pocket--when something slams down on her hand* "OW!!"
Xavier: "Nah-uh! Not again, you bastard!"

*The Ferris Wheel's lights have gone out...The only light in the decimated carnival is fire...*
summer: this is getting to be too much....
Yoh: "??? Really? The way my sister tells it, this is kind of typical for the States. What's wrong, the rock-hard doctor can't handle it?"
summer: your sister, huh?
Yoh: *nods* "She's definitely not at my power level, but she helped knock down a space station. And the Fear Factory."
summer: wait then....that girl, mana hinoki is your sister?
Yoh: "Oh, you read about her?"

mandy: Q~Q;;;
{????: please....dont kill me.... please! i didnt mean to...}
Pumpkin: *stares* "..." *shakes his head slightly, before the fire in his mouth charges up again, as he faces Mandy...*

summer: give it up before you get squashed.
Pumpkin: "Hmm..." *keeping some distance, walking around her* "Hmm, a terramancer? I didn't think they had you here."
summer: *keeping an eye on him*
Pumpkin: "They keep calling you 'doctor.' Why does someone created to heal engage in such violence? Anger problems, perhaps?"
summer: i never asked to be born with these abilities, but regardless, im just trying to do the right thing.
Pumpkin: "Is that why you keep letting dumb mistakes happen?" *sneers* "You couldn't even protect a child."
summer: *shaking*
Pumpkin: *chuckles* "That's what makes this world so fun, you know? Getting to see those brats get what they deserve..."
summer: shut up...
Pumpkin: "If you don't stop them before they learn obedience, they are unchecked little urchins, spreading harm. What they need is someone to guide them..." *holds out his good hand* "It's what they need, isn't it?"
summer: *trembling*
Pumpkin: "Come on. Join my team. I could use someone to patch up the young ones."
summer: how about you go to hell?
Pumpkin: *aims fire-breath* "Been there..." *exhales*

hibiki: that's....weirdly specific.
genny: im allergic to gluten too, actually.
Kanin: "Ah--then you'd probably avoid Cannabaeae, since it includes hops as well as hemp, marijuana--"
hibiki: wait...
{Jonas: "??? Nah, still don't know any 'Sour Diesel.' I was straight edge in school--that's why I even avoided pain medicine."}
hibiki: 'sour diesel...'

Boots: "Let's see--two brats talking about finding a dead body, which would be Marilyn here..."
marilyn: ?!?!?
Axel: "And what about us?! Why would we report finding a dead body?!"
Boots: *holds up a paper* "You killed her, and left behind a suicide note confessing your crime...All it needs is your writing." *hands it to Zeke*
zeke: NO WAY!
Boots: "I don't think you have much of a choice...Not if you want your classmates to live."

Asher: "...You both have a nasty habit of trying to save people..."
izumi: ????
Asher: "...It really pissed me off a lot. And I don't think I thanked either of you for that."
izumi: asher.....
Asher: "I held a lot of animosity at you and Spirit, and Hibiki...and at myself, because I didn't ask you to get involved. So, I'm sorry for that."
izumi:.....apology accepted.
Asher: "..." *nods* "Just be more careful, Mother Theresa--a weapon's supposed to pull some of their weight around in this partnership."

mio: IM SORRY, OK?!
Anya: "OH, NOW YOU'RE SORRY?! AFTER YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT AWFUL?!!"
mio: i know! i said something stupid and probably hurt your feelings a-and i have no excuse for what i did.
Anya: "You're right, you had no excuse!" >3<
mio: you probably hate me now, dont you? well you have every right to, after what i said. i wasnt thinking and im just a complete dumbass...*wipes her eyes*
Anya: "... ... ..." *groans--hug*
mio: ?!?!
Anya: "You're not a complete dumbass..." >_>;
mio: .....
Anya: "...Look, there have been all sorts of nasty rumors circulating around this family for generations."
mio:.....
Anya: "I-I don't know what I'd do if this was something Father did."
mio:......
???: if what was something your father did?
Anya: O_O "EEP!" *turns*
kathleen: *she seems concerned*
Anya: "...Mother...I am scared to ask."
kathleen:.....come inside girls. anastasia, im sure your father will want to discuss this with you in private.
Anya: "I don't know as much as I should about Father's previous wife."
kathleen: *sad smile* so you've figured that out, have you?
Anya: "I'm not sure what I have figured out--especially as it was Mio--...my friends, who had made certain inferences."
kathleen: i see....i dont know her as well as charles did, but i do know that she was rather scholary.
Anya: "I see...Did she write or teach or...?"
kathleen: her biggest passion was giving the people of yngling good education, and she was especially fond of mathmatics.
Anya: *wrings her hands* "How did she pass?"
kathleen: she was very ill. apperantly, she had always had poor health and often stayed indoors as a result. eventually, she lost all her strength and just withered away.....
Anya: "Oh...I can't imagine how Father must have felt."
kathleen: .....honestly, i feel a bit jealous of her sometimes. i know, it's petty of me...
Anya: *swallows* "O-Oh? S-Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
kathleen: it's quite alright. your father and i may be king and queen, but at the end of the day, we're still only human...
Anya: "...That's why I'm afraid of what Mio said about Father and...the..."
kathleen: ....if anything did happen between them, it happened before i married your father.
Anya: "But if he did, how can you trust him to honor his vows?"
*the doors open*
kathleen: !!
Charles: *enters*
kathleen: i'll just take my leave then.

Asher: "...Mood."
hibiki: so what happened?
Kazue: "I was attacked by some couple."
Duncan: "...You walked in on them?"
lei-lei: *chop x2*
Kazue: "They were Kishin worshippers--with stretchy skin, like the original Kishin. Then they killed some mugger and went after me."
izumi: !!
Asher: *looks at Izumi*
Axel: "How did you escape without them killing you?"
Kazue: "Fought like hell..." *looks at scrapes and cuts all over their arms* "..."

Monica: "?!!!" *GLARES*

Axel: "--and it makes your stool all black?"
Zarya: "Yes, exactly what the less annoying twin said."
zeke: ^^;; erm....
Lord Death: "Hmm. That's funny. Kiddo and baby Shiori also did not react well. And Soul called in sick for today's Death Scythe meeting. ... I guess you all need more vitamin C and some rest!" ^w^
nygus: sir, are you really going to ignore the elephant in the room? -_-;
Lord Death: "Oh? We have one of those as a student now?"
nygus: SIR.
Lord Death: "Hmm? Oh--yes. Well, given the presence of Kishinites, we likely have an increase in the Madness Wavelength, thereby affecting individuals more keenly attuned to it, whether shinigami, powerful meisters, or those who were in contact with the Black Blood. And we may be able to use the heightened sensitivity of those individuals--"
Monica: "Who you calling 'sensitive'?"
Lord Death: "--to suss out these no-good-niks!"
